• Brexit briefing on Kent's preparedness

• An introduction and explaination into each organisations response

• To discuss Kent’s Command and Control structures

• An understanding of the principles of JESIP

• Guest speakers to support the learning

• A 4 stage learning exercise

1. Understand the roles and responsibilities of different agencies during the operational response phase of a major incident/civil emergency

4. implement and review their dedicated course of action/response
